In a large study with rows of shelves filled with stacks of educational books and lit up by a few gas lamps, a man sat at the center where a couch, as well as a table, resided.
Dressed in scholarly attire with a stoic air about him, he conversed with another fellow wearing similar attire to his own that sat across the table from him.
Seemingly engaged in a debate regarding a certain topic, both men exchanged knowledge whilst enjoying tea and scones.
The atmosphere was strangely calm despite the debate going on.
Just as the scholarly man was about to one-up his opponent, there was a knock at the door causing him to pause.
Glancing at the door, he inquired. "Who's there?"
A moment later, a voice was heard. "Sire, I bring word."
The scholarly man let out an 'ah' before replying. "Come in."
In response, the doorknob turned and the door flung open to reveal a youthful man standing at the other end, wearing a white shirt and black trousers with a red and black overcoat.
